I gave up over 24 million followers on Twitter to be on Mastodon full time. Yes, as I'm sure many of you have guessed by now, I am Neil Patrick Harris.
@lowqualityfacts Whomever you are, you really should dial down the passive aggressive gaslighting posing as "humour." Nothing you post is funny and I stopped following long ago (Your latest just happened to pop up in someone's repost).
@Great_Albums @lowqualityfacts it's "whoever", not "whomever" because it's the nominative case (as in Latin, German, etc.) which I just learned is also named the subjective case in English. The nominative case applies to the subject but also to the complement if the complement is the same thing as the subject. For example, in "I am a Berliner", both "I" and "a Berliner" use the nominative case because they describe the same thing. However, in "I eat a Berliner", "a Berliner" is not equivalent to the subject and therefore uses another case. This is poorly explained here and there:
